The little steam tug Leslio Bald
win, winch was brought uown hero
from San Francisco on the deck of
tho schooner Mctha Nelson tho other
day, is to bo launched in a day or
two. E. V. Tucker, who was at
one timo superintending engineer of
Wilder's Steamship Company, and
who camo down from tho Coast for
the purpose, will look after the
launching of the fine launch. The
launch is to be used in the harbor of

barges.
Tho four masted barkentine "Ha
waii , Uapt. iMcIjCOU, lormoriv ot
,tho ''Lurlino", arrived outside of
Kahului on Thursday afternoon with
coal for Kihoi. Being a foreign
vessel flying the Chilean flag, the
customs officer at Kahului refused
to allow her to unload at Kihoi, that
not being a port of entiy. Tho
United States shipping law Is quite
positive on this point, and she will
have to enter and unload either av
Kahului for which port she cleared,
or at some other port oi entry on
tho Islands. The bark "Antiopo"
experienced the same trouble some
time since, under similar conditions,
and had to unload her cargo at
Kahului and have it carried to Kihei
by rail. A law has just been intro
duced in congress to correct this.

appeared to be an approaching
storm, the vessel was struck by
whirlwind. For two minutes onlv the
bark wifs in tho terrible whirlwind
but that short period of timo sode
moralized tho sailing gear, that it al
most doubled the sailing time of the
staunch craft. Upon investigation
it was lounu mat. two seamen were
washed over-board. Ono of them
Frank Anderson, was saved but only
after repeated, attempts Tirjce he
was dropped back into the water by
his comrades. The third lime he was
drawn ' on board, more dead than
